Responsible Gambling

BigBassBonanza.AU is committed to promoting responsible gambling. This page provides information to help Australian players gamble safely and identify when gambling may be becoming harmful.

Play Responsibly

Online gambling, including slot games like Big Bass Bonanza, is intended to be a form of entertainment. Here are the core principles of responsible play:

  • Set a budget – Only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a strict loss limit before you start a session and stick to it.
  • Set a time limit – Decide in advance how long you will play. Take regular breaks and do not chase your session time.
  • Never chase losses – If you lose your session budget, stop. Trying to recover losses by gambling more is a key warning sign of problem gambling.
  • Don't gamble under the influence – Alcohol and other substances impair judgement and lead to riskier gambling behaviour.
  • Balance gambling with other activities – Gambling should be one leisure activity among many, not a primary source of entertainment or income.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do you gamble more than you intend to, or for longer than planned?
  • Do you feel anxious, irritable, or depressed when you are not gambling?
  • Have you lied to family or friends about your gambling activity or losses?
  • Do you borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling?
  • Have you tried to stop or cut down gambling but been unable to?
  • Do you feel gambling is the only way to solve financial problems?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please seek support. Help is free, confidential, and available right now.

  • Deposit limits – Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps.
  • Loss limits – Restrict the amount you can lose in a given period.
  • Session time limits – Set a maximum session duration with reminder alerts.
  • Self-exclusion – Temporarily or permanently close your account.
  • Reality checks – Pop-up notifications to remind you how long you have been playing.

Contact your casino's responsible gambling team directly to activate any of these features. You can also use the national BetStop self-exclusion register at betstop.com.au.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. All licensed Australian casinos carry out age verification checks. If you are under 18, please leave any gambling site immediately. If you are concerned that a minor may be accessing gambling content, use parental control software such as Net Nanny or your device's built-in parental controls.
